Since No-Frills is coming up I checked out a few esoteric, stellar planetaries last night that might be challenging. Just to keep it fun for everyone these...
The October Meetin' of the Delmarva Stargazers is scheduled for tomorrow night (Tues., 10/2) at Mallard Lodge, 7PM. Both visitors and newbies are welcome! See...

Kent, it's so dry on the Delmarva Peninsula that we will actually have a rain dance contest during the No-Frills. Maybe even put a telescope in the deal if...

As for storms and such, I like to use Weather Underground to track it. Although they're wrong about their hail predictions. For checking for clear skies in...
